Tennessee – Headlights glow softly through gray air this morning as fog drapes across neighborhoods and low-lying roads. The damp chill settles in fast, making the air feel heavier than the thermometer suggests.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, temperatures sit in the mid-30s early today with fog and mist reducing visibility to around four miles at times. North winds near 10 mph add a sharp edge, and wind chills dip closer to the upper 20s during the morning drive. Slower travel is likely on routes like I-40 and I-24, especially near rivers and open fields.
Clouds hang tough through much of the day. Highs struggle to reach the upper 30s, keeping conditions firmly in winter mode. Any moisture on pavement may linger longer than expected, so drivers should stay alert in shaded areas.
Colder air settles in tonight. Temperatures fall near 20 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, raising concerns for refreezing where roads briefly dry during the afternoon. This is a prime setup for flash freezing, a common February hazard.
Thursday brings gradual improvement. Partial sunshine returns, and highs climb back near the upper 30s. Winds relax, helping conditions feel more manageable by afternoon. Friday marks a clearer shift. Sunshine dominates, and temperatures surge into the mid-50s with gusty southwest winds at times.
The weekend trends brighter but cooler again. Saturday stays sunny with highs in the mid-40s, followed by a colder Saturday night near the upper 20s. Looking ahead, temperatures rebound into the upper 50s and near 60 early next week, hinting at a broader warming trend across the region.
Plan extra time this morning, keep headlights on in fog, and watch for slick spots after sunset. How thick was the fog where you are today?
